Just Gotta

(Laura Åkerblom)

Written at a party in my own home. Heavy techno music with lots of bass was pumping out of the speakers, guests had arrived and I wasn’t ready. I really wanted to join in and these lyrics popped into my head. I imagined them to catchy bubblegum pop or occasional lyrics on an electronic dance track.

Verse 1
The party
is waiting. 
I’ll be right there.
Just gotta, just gotta
just gotta fix my hair. 

Don’t don’t don’t
start without me.  
I’ll be right there. 
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
Just gotta, just gotta
just gotta fix my hair. 

Verse 2
My friends
are waiting.  
I’m almost done. 
Just gotta, just gotta
gotta get my make-up on.

Don’t don’t don’t
start without me.  
I’m almost done. 
Don’t don’t don’t 
start without me.
Just gotta, just gotta
gotta get my make-up on.

Bridge
It always seems to take so long. 
You’re all having so much fun. 
I wish 
I could 
be there now.
But I’m 
stuck here. 
Getting ready, getting ready.
And I’m gonna be so wow! 

Verse 3
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me.  
I’ll be right there. 
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
Just gotta, just gotta
just gotta fix my hair. 

Don’t don’t don’t
start without me.  
I’ll be right there. 
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
Just gotta, just gotta
just gotta fix my hair. 


Verse 4
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
I’m almost done.
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
Just gotta, just gotta
gotta get my make-up on.

Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
I’m almost done.
Don’t don’t don’t
start without me. 
Just gotta, just gotta
gotta get my make-up on.

Hate will not spawn our fate

By Jessie Doyle

There was a time I think when the world ran much more peacefully and there weren't wars or violence and material things didn't matter and everything wasn't a competition to see who was better than one another, a time where people helped one another without asking for it that's just what they did because they genuinely felt love and compassion and unity amongst each other, but then something happened along the way that poisoned our hearts and our souls and what was once love, mutated into hate and angst and the urge to destroy one another just to satisfy thier own needs and somehow maybe one day through a miracle we can get back to getting along and living peacefully and happily with each other.
